Now that Jeff Francoeur has been added to the team ...
do you think the Ranger players will finally learn to French kiss properly?

It’s 2:10…I was wondering myself, yahoo had it wrong.

I've gotten ridiculously excited about two other pitchers this year.
And, not entirely due to their own design, it’s started to make me sad.

It's a good thing yesterday was on the road.
The booing he would have received at home might have incited a riot.
Having our best position players
and the resulting lineups certainly doesn’t help.
I’m starting to get real concerned with how long our window is going to be open with the team’s current plan of getting pitchers and toolsy guys, married with the injury potential, and age, in MYs case, of our better positional players.

I've been that way since the mid-summer franchise sale/auction baloney hit full thrust ...
still haven’t regained my Rangers enthusiasm. A playoff series victory would turn that around pronto.
Lol, bet dad was pissed

So here is a short discussion point for the GDT
Say the Rangers stumble across the finish line, ending up with something like 86 wins and taking the division by 6 games because no other team finishes above 500.
Then the Rangers get knocked out of the playoffs in the first round.
Does Washington come back next year?
I only ask because this team has really not played well in 2010. Yeah, there were injuries, etc. But this team has played sloppy, stupid baseball for 6 months and has just gotten where they are due to sheer talent and a crappy division alone. And now, playing against a team whose record will determine whether the Rangers open the playoffs home or away, Wash doesn’t even seem to be trying.
Go Rice Owls!
Yes
I don’t think that’s even up for discussion, among the people making the decision.

At best
next year he will make as much impact as Rich Harden, and I doubt he can do that well.
"Look, we're basically on earth to shit and fuck. So unless your job's to help people shit or fuck, it's not that important, so relax."-https://twitter.com/shitmydadsays
Well, a big part of it
is this team isn’t very good when it’s best players like Kinsler, Cruz and Hamilton are injured. The bench depth is fairly atrocious.

If anything he was trying too hard in the first game with the micro-managing
now he seems to have given up since things didn’t go his way
I think you underestimate what Wash brings to the table..
The players love playing for him, apparently.

yeah... that isn't my point
if the team just gets walloped in the playoffs because they’re playing with their heads in the sand (as they have the last month or so), it doesn’t really make a whole lot of difference whether the players love him or not, now does it?
Adam is probably right, there probably aren’t any discussions about Wash. I’m just throwing the idea out there, since this team is playing like total crap right now, and if that doesn’t turn around in 4 weeks they’ll still make the playoffs but they won’t last long.
Go Rice Owls!
Wash isn't the reason Cliff Lee has sucked for a month or why they've been injured.
Shit happens. He isn’t going anywhere.
I really hope we can get hot even without hamilton.
This team needs to get hot before the playoffs. Even if it’s just for a week they need to get hot. Just so people will quit talking, and they’ll have some confidence.
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
Starting Guzzleman over Blanco at SS
should be a fireable offense. I like a lot of what Wash brings to the table, but this just seems stupid.

Yes for many reasons
"I support you, Wash; I’ve always supported you," Young said
"Back on the scene, with a gangsta lean" RW
heck yes
so many reasons, including, as much as many of yall hate, bringing in ignorant fans like me who want to learn. Expanding the fan base is a huge win for these Rangers
if you think
making the playoffs for the first time in over 10 years is successful then yes.
add to that a young core (with exception of young) that the team should have for several years and a still strong farm, then it’s pretty successful.
also add to that having a new owner, then it’s awesome.

Honestly a sucess? Im not sure..
From all the moves they made and seeing this lineup, I think we can/should do better at least get out the second round. Its obvious mgmt is shooting for the top. I wont consider it a success but it wont be a failure either.
I don't think it can be a failure if we make the playoffs
If we continue to limp to the end and then get blown out of the LDS then it might not be a success. But, a 4 game LDS loss that is a close battle the whole way would still be a success in my book.
Winning a series would obviously have to be considered a success. A 5 game LDS probably would have be as well.

Per Adam's tweet on the left side there
I’m all for platooning Josh and Vlad at DH when Josh returns, but in the playoffs I want Josh in the field instead of Murphy
Go Rice Owls!
And Vlad in the lineup every postseason game.
'Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night'
well
Adam’s whole point is that he’s trying to eliminate Vlad in the lineup. Because Adam doesn’t like Vlad.
But even if you don’t like Vlad, and think you’d rather have Murphy in there instead of him, give me Hamilton in left over Murphy if the games really count. And then if you want to start Murphy over Vlad at DH, take the heat for that stance.
Go Rice Owls!
I wasn't meaning to be sarcastic, I want Vlad in the postseason lineup everyday.
Murphy/Hamilton/Cruz/Vlad every game.

I'd take my chances in the postseaston.
I have more faith in Vladimir ‘Freakin’ Guerrero turning it on in a series than Borbon.
I would rest him quite a bit down the stretch however, so he’s fresher for that opportunity.
You channeling LSJ on Vlad?
'Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night'
No
I’m pointing out that he’s old, he’s tired and he looks done.
Borbon at least gives you defense, and allows you to try to preserve Josh’s body by putting him at the DH spot.
At least against RHPs, I think you have to consider sitting Vlad in the playoffs.
by Adam J. Morris on Sep 5, 2010 4:21 PM CDT up reply actions
why are you trying to preserve Josh's body once you're in the playoffs?
Do you really think the odds he injures himself in the field any single day in games that actually matter outweigh the benefit of his glove out there?
Because if so, you should just advocate he be a full time DH
Go Rice Owls!
I'm not saying anything about you
I’m just saying you want to have Hamilton in the field over Murphy. The decision about Vlad in the postseason has more to do with Murphy vs Vlad and little to do with Josh.
Go Rice Owls!

CJ Wilson
Has been the Rangers best pitcher for 2 months, and holds lefties around a .100 average. I have no problem with Wash letting him pitch to Span.
Furthermore, CJ was cruising in the 3 innings before the 6th, and had some hits just evade gloves. Unfortunately, luck is not with this team right now.
CJ wasn't CJ today.
He shouldn’t have seen a batter in the sixth. Give Kirkman a chance to start with a clean slate still down 1.
3 runs later, the game is basically over.

by Aquaman, Esq. on Sep 5, 2010 4:17 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
He didn't have his best control, no
But his pitch count was manageable and he was pitching well after the 2nd. I don’t think Wash had a good basis for taking him out.
Now of course, hindsight is 20/20.
He only threw four strikes in a row once in the entire game.
He was a ticking time bomb today that narrowly lucked out of multiple big innings. Pitch counts are irrelevant when a guy has absolutely no control.

The only luck I recall
is the Mauer hit up the middle that CJ was able to catch. And thank you for regurgitating Josh Lewin at me haha.
He'd throw 76 pitches through 5
Had retired 8 in a row and 11 of 12.
Looking back should have taken him out.
Almost certainly should have pulled him after the Young single, but let’s not act like he’d been awful for 5 innings and had no indication of settling down
Just have to hope
Team team that played in May June and July comes back before October.
If that's the way it goes
its still better than 75-88 and being 19 games out of it and having no chance from the start of July.
But let’s not act like a game on September 5th puts us 1-0 down in the LDS already
Not saying that it isn't
It’s been a great season so far. But I also think you’re just putting the blinders on if you think the problems that have occurred today are confined to this game.
That's fair and very true
I’m just a little tired of the gloomy gus people that come on here and say “this team has no chance in the playoffs, we suck”
If “we suck” then what does that say for teams like the Mariners and Pirates (not saying this to you philclark, just in general).
As for the last 3 games, the Rangers have sucked
I think you are being irrational...

Well, not at the moment.
Our flight doesn’t leave until 8, and his parents are our ride to the airport. For now we’re stuck hanging out at the house with his family, none of whom have left yet.
Fuck this team and fuck Minnesota.
This was way worse than Toronto or Baltimore because it mattered.
3.5 games out of HFA now and a hot A’s team gaining steam behind us. Fuck it all.

I'm not worried about the A's
but HFA is all but gone.
Of course, Washington wasn’t really trying to win this game anyway, so we can’t judge much about it. I’m sure we’ll hear that excuse when people dismiss the 0-12 road record against playoff teams. “Wash wasn’t even trying in 3 of the games!” they’ll say…
